More Milestones!!

Well Samia got some firsts/milestones out of the way. She saw her first man in a skirt...well a kilt actually. We (grandpa, grandma, mom, samia, and aunties) went to the 42nd annual Scottish Festival at the Orange County Fair Grounds. It was so much fun. We saw different atheletics like the caber toss, and some pitch fork toss. We also got to taste meat pies and kettle corn (how that is scottish i don't know). But we also got to look up our clan. We saw plenty of bag pipes including Glendora's tartan pipers, and scottish dancing. Samia also got to go through the petting zoo. So we had a great time.

















Later that night when we were relaxing at home Samia started getting fussy. She end up tossing her cookies and later when we tried to give her a bottle that came up too. She had a slight fever. The next morning I had a hunch and checked her gums... sure enough she has two teeth coming in. Yeah!! Mystery solved. So I've been giving her those little teething tablets to help her.
It's official, I registered for school today. I'm only taking two courses for summer, then full schedule for fall. My thoughts have been really scattered of lately with trying to go back to school. I have been reading a couple of good books. I've realized in my persuit to provide for my daughter and myself I have lost my life's passion. So I am on a journey to find my passion. What am I good at, what do I want to do? Hopefully this and much more will be answered in time.

Mother's Day?

Well i know it's a little late but just recapping the week. I had a great mother's day, hope everyone else did too. Samia and i went to church and then to her daddy's house. We then went to babies r us, they were having a pretty good sale. We just wanted to see what there was. Well as always we ended up getting mimi's something. Go figure it's mother's day and she is getting presents. Needless to say she loves her new toy. She can ride on it or use it to walk... speaking of walking. my magoo barley crawls, comparing her to other kids her age i was worried. That was until she started pulling herself up the other day. Aparently crawling is so 8mo. an since Samia is 8 1/2 she feels a need to be walking! Samia has progressed to slideing off my lap and standing. She runs into a bit of trouble when trying to walk away, so far she just falls on her butt. I am sure her expertise will sharpen with in the next few weeks.

Don't wanna go!

Well we had a busy day yesterday, in an out of the car. On our final errand I guess Samia was tired of it and wanted to let me know how she felt when Auntie Judy tried to put her in her car seat!












At least she is learning quickly!








The part she hates most, the rinse cycle!

Squeaky clean!
